Fr Jon, from England: "The sense of fatherhood dawned on me more powerfully when I was first given my parish after 5 years of ordination. After the first week-end of Sunday Masses the thought came to me very clearly and simply that I was able to feed these people with Jesus in the Eucharist. Just like a father would feed his family .. as a spiritual father I have done much the same thing in a spiritual way feeding them with Christ Himself to build them up and strengthen them for the week ahead ... We are called to be messengers of hope .. everybody needs a sense of hope ..the hope we are talking about is a hope rooted in Jesus, in his kingdom, in eternal life; it is a hope that is based on Jesus' death and resurrection. It is the surest, greatest, deepest hope we are going to ever come across and that should always inspire us and be part of the message we are passing on. I think that is vital as a priest."
